Apparently, the folks at TMZ are much better at generating interest than they are at doing math. The tabloid website reported that John Cena squatted 600 pounds. The numbers were inaccurate, and the longtime WWE star took to social media to clear up the rumors. Cena stated that he was lifting closer to 396 pounds. The reason that he decided to respond to the story was because it was spreading around the internet wrestling community rather rapidly.

If someone in the internet wrestling community were to tell you that they found out about the net worth of John Cena via Forbes magazine, then they are not telling you the truth. The magazine has never published his financial status. They have speculated on the entire WWE before and produced an article that took a look at the various avenues in which a performer gets paid. Usually, it is other websites that are guessing the actual figure.
